The two hosts hit out at the 52-year-old British politician on today’s edition of Loose Women during a discussion about the shocking sexist comments made by the 70-year-old.

Loose Women panellist Ruth, 56, was heard questioning what Nigel was doing working with Donald even after the tape from 2005 resurfaced.

“I was outraged for the good guys out there. My husband, never ever would you hear him making comments like that about women, whether he was at a bar, in a locker room, anywhere and I just thought it was disgusting,” Ruth told the panel.

She continued: “And then I saw Nigel Farage - why he’s involved? God only knows. But then he was saying, 'Look, everyone knows that’s just why guys do,’ and I go, ‘Not my guy’.

Nadia Sawalha expressed her anger at him, telling her colleagues and the audience: “This is not okay, giving it the name backroom banter. I am disgusted that my daughters had to hear it.”

Nigel was heard today defending the candidate, describing his comments as “ugly” but saying it was “alpha male” behaviour.

In an address to voters in St Louis, Missouri, Nigel said: “Look, this is alpha male boasting. It’s the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do. They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.

“By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News, or the front page of a newspaper. I’m not pretending it’s good – it’s ugly, it is ugly.”

His defence comes in the wake of the damning audio, which has led to the Republican losing support from his fellow party members.

In the audio, published by the Washington Post, Donald is heard saying: “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful [women] I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.

“And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

“Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.”
